You live with your true love

(Still Karen's point of view)

Monday at school after the party, Kevin seeks you out. He says he is sorry for how he ended your first date...he kinda freaked at the thought of being dad. He says that he will understand if you don't want him and will help with the kid. You tell him you are a little scared too, but you love him and want to try to be a couple. Your week is tense as Amber nags you about having unprotected sex and with Kevin. You are also nervous about being a pregnant high school senior. Friday night your mom surprises you when you come home and announces she kicked out your step dad after she caught him cheating on her with a 20 year old girl that lives down the street.

You lost your baby at eight weeks and nobody but you, Kevin, and Amber ever knew about it. A short time later your mom tells you that you will have a baby brother or sister in about eight months. After she separated from your step-dad, she started to work some shifts at a bar for extra money and would sleep with guys after close. In their drunken state they didn't think about birth control. Amber got pregnant around Thanksgiving when she got wasted at a party. After doing paternity tests of six guys (all negative) that were at the party and had slept with Amber, it is never determined who knocked her up. Amber has to drop out and becomes a waitress at a truck stop diner.

You and Kevin graduate high school in the spring. Your mom gives birth to your little brother in July. She found out who got her pregnant but continues to live alone. You and Kevin move into the basement apartment of his uncle's house. You both move to Capital City two years later after graduating from Green River Valley Community College. You do well as buyer for a large independent clothing store. Kevin goes to State University and and becomes a lawyer. You and Kevin don't marry until you get pregnant again at age 29. You have a son and can't have anymore kids.
